“In last week’s cover story, reference is made to DJ Hy Lit spinning at the...”
– Correction in this week’s City Paper regarding a very good article by Drew Lazor that also resurrected Hy Lit, who died in 2007.
“Alright, you want a line I won’t cross? Here’s a line I won’t...”
– From Alan Sepinwall’s interview with Paul Lieberstein, who plays Toby on The Office. Disappointing! That would have been an amazing way for Michael to leave the show..
“‘Did you have sex that night?’ Assistant U.S. Attorney Marisa Ford...”
– “Rick Pitino testifies about sex with woman accused of extortion,” Associated Press. Definitely not something I would admit to unprompted. Glad I got a Pitino fashion update right after, too.
“There is so much out-of-control ego going on here I don’t know where to start....”
– At Philadelphia magazine’s blog, you can learn so many exciting things! Like this: Big Daddy Graham does not like Eminem’s new album! A nitpick, however: Like 25 percent of Eminem’s tracks are about painkillers. I think we’ve known about his problem for a while.
“A 26-year-old Manhattan woman told The New York Times that she was afraid of...”
– “The Web Means the End of Forgetting,” The New York Times. Just being seen “out on the town” in a Skynyrd t-shirt would be embarrassing enough.
“Gerstenzang denied that Van Plew threatened the teenager with violence if he...”
– “Teen prank ends in scuffle, man’s arrest,” Times Union (Albany, N.Y.). The Delmar Tipster needs his own comic book.
WatchLast night I happened across a program called Wrestlicious Takedown, apparently a women’s wrestling promotion founded by a guy who hit a Powerball jackpot. I think that’s the “JB Rich” in the above clip. And, wow, this is really amateurish even for a professional wrestling TV program. Wrestlicious makes the old ECW look like The Sopranos. How they managed to get Jimmy Hart...
“Shaq, T-Mac and [The Answer himself, and my favorite player of all time, Allen...”
– TrueHoop kinda kills my dream of Iverson going to the Heat. It would have been so hilariously awesome; of course it won’t happen.
“Hey, what if Pat Riley returns to the sidelines and it ends up being the Lakers...”
– Lil Wayne is my new favorite NBA analyst. (via Rap Radar)
“‘He fled the scene and is still at large,’ Vanore said. At large...”
– Driver shot after refusing to tow line of rival,” Daily News. I hope the DN continues to insert fat jokes — fat jokes sourced by police officers! — into its shooting stories. It makes them so much more fun to read! (via rjwhite)
WatchWhat you’ve all been waiting for: A Major Lazer/Ultimate Warrior mashup. (via Mad Decent blog)
“He picked 743 because that was the number he and Linda had used for their PINs,...”
– “Print TV’s Crowning Moment of Awesome,” Esquire. Um, my bank PIN is four digits. (I’m not giving away anything else.) FISHY!
“Spain’s football team returned home to a jubilant nation and a huge fiesta...”
– The studio hosts were saying similar things after the game about the win “uniting all of Spain.” Personally, then, I just think it’s a shame Spain didn’t win the 1934 World Cup. (via ESPN)
“You know, most human beings would jump at the chance to leave Cleveland for...”
– Wonkette’s Sara Benincasa on Lebron James.
“PORTLAND, Ore. — A car full of people dressed as zombies crashed on...”
– ““Zombies” crash on I-84 near Lloyd exit,” KGW.com.
“Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos is expected to start weighing the replacement for...”
– The article goes on to say it’s not really likely, but we can all dream. (via SI.com)
“The Last Airbender notched the fifth highest-grossing Thursday opening of all...”
– The new M. Night movie (consensus: awful) opened well, hilariously. skybarn: “Yeah, this is the twist ending here.”
